This dish is basically Teriyaki Chicken, and I added Sweet Potatoes that I steamed. You can cook them in your favourite method. And today I used Japanese Sweet Potatoes, that have silky texture and superior flavour. However, the most common orange coloured Sweet Potatoes can be used. I added a little bit of Chilli to the sauce but it is optional.
